The Shopkeeper Sells on Credit

From "The Peace" by Baal HaSulam
Rabbi Akiva said,

"Everything is temporary
And that a fortress surrounds all of life.

The shop is open
And the owner gives credit.
The book is open
And the hand writes.
And whoever wishes to borrow
May borrow.

The collectors call frequently,
Every day.
And the debts are paid,
Knowingly and unknowingly.
They can be assured
The judgment is just
And all is prepared for the feast."
